OWNERS COMMENTS:

"The first owner took delivery of the hull and deck with engine mounted but not fully installed in 1989. In 1993 I bought the hull unchanged.
The yacht was first launched in 1995 only partially fitted out at this stage. The interior furniture was made by a skilled cabinet maker. All the furniture is teak panelled and framed in American ash.
Solid teak is extensively used, this teak was re-cycled from teak decking that was removed from the RRS John Biscoe that I commanded at the time.
In reading this specification you will note that no money has been spared in keeping the yacht in good condition. The present working sails are the third set.
I will hand-over to the purchaser a filing cabinet that has sail plans, steering gear plans and all major invoices since the yacht was new.
I am only selling as I am shortly in position to consider a slightly larger yacht."
